Can I connect a EIDE hard drive in the DL580?

Compaq/HP do not support IDE/EIDE disks in their servers. The CD-ROM channel is IDE and in theory you could put an IDE disk onto it, but the chances of it working are slim but not impossible. You just might have issues booting off it.

You might not be able to boot off it due to the option not being there in the System Partition on the server.
